SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Anina Cicerone tallied twice as the Western Michigan women's soccer team defeated Tulsa, 2-1, at the Notre Dame adidas Invitational on Sunday afternoon.

Cicerone's two goals, combined with six saves by Michelle Watson and a much better defensive effort helped the Broncos (3-2-0) claim their third win of the season. Cicerone and Stephanie Skowneski were both named to the adidas Invitational All-Tournament team.

“It was just a much better effort than what we put forth on Friday,” said head coach Suzie Grech. “We made better decisions on the ball and played Western soccer.”

Cicerone gave the Broncos a 1-0 lead at the 37:15 mark of the first period on a stunning shot from well outside the 18-yard box to the lower left corner of the net. She added her second goal just 2:10 later at 39:25 after a free kick resulted in a loose ball in the box. It was the first multi-goal game of her career and pushed her season total to three, just two shy of her career-best of five that she registered last season.

“Anina's first goal was probably one of the best shots I've seen in my coaching career,” said Grech.

The only hiccup for the Broncos came in the 60th minute when Tulsa lobbed a free kick into the box and a WMU defender tried to clear it but accidently headed it into the net for an own goal.

With its two regular season tournaments complete, Western Michigan heads to coach Grech's alma mater to battle the Michigan Wolverines on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Ann Arbor.
